DEB'S CHALLENGE...FOUR SMALL TAGS OR CARDS.

This is my entry for Deb's challenge. Four small cards.
I had decided to make tags out of parchment...
but while I was looking for a pattern I came across a sheet of images on parchment paper.
I used a cutting die to make the cards and another one to cut two of the images.
I used gems and peel off's to embellish.

KERRY'S CHALLENGE...A SKETCH.

This is my challenge...and what a challenge...
You would not believe how many times I changed the colour and design.
Using parts from the Hunkydory Christmas pack I bought recently from C&C.
The Santa I glittered with Glamour Dust on his hat, beard and eye brows.
I added stickles to his eyes, mouth and berries.
I put Glossy Accents on the leaves and used candis for the three buttons.
Finishing with some red organza ribbon and a sentiment.

Dawn's Challenge...Adding an Angel..

I made this card not particularly for Dawn' Challenge.
I remembered I had seen this a few years back at The Hobby House..
The main tree is a stamp and the embellishment's are stamps which I used on shrink plastic.
If you look carefully you can see why I have put it into Dawn's Challenge for adding an Angel.

Sue C's Challenge...Humour.

This is Sue C's Challenge. Humour.
This I found a difficult one as I could not find anything that was humurous.
I found this topper which I bought from Hobby House a long time ago.
The outer shape is a Sizzex cutting die and I made a candi button flower to finish.

Chris's Challenge..Santa in Blue.

This is Chris's Challenge Santa in Blue.
I used a Sizzex die for the Santa and a punch for the snowflakes.
Santa's fluffy bits are flower soft.
I used distress inks for the background and finished with snow flurry acetate to cover the front.
